How can I tell if rockers are still good? I want to purchase a used set of rockers that have about 20,000 miles on them, how can I tell if they are any good. Also Are Comp Cams 1.85 Pro-Magnum Roller Rockers any good?
Thank you in advance

Put a bolt through the rocker and in your hand, press down on the bolt with your thumb and rock it through it's range slowly. It should be smooth with no binding or clicking. Also it can move side to side very slightly on the bearing, but the bearing itself should not wiggle at all in the rocker. You can also take them apart and look at the bearings. All the needles should be there with no burn marks.
